Connective tissue between ships and stations... THE ENTRIES: [241] DNA (no card required) [242] Dobara [243] docking clamps [244] "Doctor Bashir, I Presume?" [245] dodecahedron NOTES:  [241] Exists as DNA Clues in The Dominion expansion. [242] There's a smuggling reference in there because Penny Johnson, who played Dobara, would later play the role of Kasidy Yates on DS9. Source: "Homeward" [243] This site is where a Nor's docking sites intersect with a ship's own sites. Docking Procedures played on this ship are simply discarded. It can be played in either section (Saucer or Engineering). Source: The Encyclopedia references "Defiant", but the pic is from Star Trek: The Motion Picture. [244] Parallax Arguers has none of its usual effects when you do this. Source: "Doctor Bashir, I Presume?" [245] What was I to do with this entry: "Twelve-sided geometric solid. (Alliances [VGR])"? So I did this. Cards that cost 5 points inclu...

THE ENTRIES: [236] Divine Treasury [237] Division of Planetary Operations [238] Divok (no card required) [239] divorce, Klingon [240] DNA reference scan NOTES:  [236] An on-table afterlife Colony. Personnel with Greed x2 are worth 2 points per turn. The points remain even if the Event is nullified. If it is, the personnel under it go to the discard pile. Source: "False Profits" [237] Gives the Federation a choice of Headquarters. Non-Aligned humans can report for free here as well. Source: Referenced in "Homefront" and "Paradise Lost" [238] Exists as a Klingon personnel in the Basic Set. [239] Some AtoZ cards are affected by romantic relationships listed in a card's lore. If a Klingon with such a relationship is targeted by one of the dilemmas listed, you can only nullify either the relationship OR the dilemma, not both.

[D 231-235] Disruptor to Distortion

A couple of mazes... THE ENTRIES: [231] disruptor (no card required) [232] disruptors, system 5 (no card required) [233] "Distant Voices" [234] distortion field (no card required) [235] distortion ring being Decipher's version for comparison: NOTES:  [231] Exists as a number of hand weapons including Klingon Disruptor (Basic Set). [232] Exists as System 5 Disruptors, an Event in Deep Space Nine expansion. [233] Since Empaths can freely walk to a Mind Location (becoming disabled in the real world, however), your Lethean can easily walk in there and start killing the dream personnel that reports as a personality trait, making sure it doesn't return to the owner's hand. "Cured" means the Lethean victim's STRENGTH returns to normal and that it is no longer disabled. All classifications must be present, but can come from the same personnel. Source: "Distant Voices" [234] Exists as an Event in the Basic Set. [235] You announce your wish to walk f...

[D 226-230] Directional to Displacement

Today: Worf plays midwife... THE ENTRIES: [226] directional sonic generator [227] Dirgo [228] "Disaster" [229] discommendation (no card required) [230] displacement wave NOTES:  [226] Not a hand weapon. Personnel with more than one capitalized skill still only count as one classification (the others are skills, not classifications), so Lore can't stun 3 ANIMALs. This will help against the battle-heavy AtoZ ANIMAL menagerie. Source: "Playing God" [227] His matching command will be in the Broken Links. His Command icon is suspect, but he really did consider himself a captain. Source: "Final Mission" [228] A fancy filter. As long as the targets exist, personnel will be filtered out. One female for sure, and perhaps a SECURITY, Klingon or Jem'Hadar (all of the male persuasion). You only lose points if you had one of those males present to be stopped. Source: "Disaster" [229] Exists as an Event in Q-Continuum expansion. [230] If no other quadr...

[D 221-225] DiMaggio to Direct

Oh no, Tasha! THE ENTRIES: [221] DiMaggio, Joe [222] Dinasian [223] Diomedian scarlet moss [224] dirak [225] direct reticular stimulation NOTES:  [221] One such interrupt won't both download Bokai AND remove his [holo] icon. He keeps his AU icon in any case. Source: Referenced in "If Wishes Were Horses" [222] The Emergency Transporter Armbands of the Iconian world. You can jump planets in the middle of a battle if you want, even to send reinforcements elsewhere. Source: "Contagion" [223] Botanists are those personnel listed as such in their lore (Keiko and her colleagues). The card could be cumulative with Assign Mission Specialists if your Botanist only had Biology. Source: "Clues" [224] The objective isn't discarded (or the points scored) until the ship reaches the Alpha quadrant (any location without a quadrant icon, with all due apologies to the Beta quadrant), so you can keep downloading cards as long as you're solving missions.

[D 216-220] Dilithium to Dim

We're not done with the dilithium... THE ENTRIES: [216] dilithium crystal chamber [217] dilithium chamber calibrations [218] dilithium [219] dill weed [220] dim NOTES:  [216] Much more useful for the reporting ability (she IS universal, you know). Source: "Booby Trap" [217] Ship must dock to "return". Source: "Brothers" [218] If your opponent isn't using a Battle Bridge side-deck, you get to instantly repair your ship, though it may turn out this way even with damage markers (if you only had two). Source: Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home [219] Doubles a number of effects, each card being unique. Unlike other Food cards, it does not return to hand, and is discarded when its countdown ends. It doesn't need to be upkept either. It is not cumulative on the same Food card, but it is duplicatable (played on another Food card at the same location). Source: Referenced in "Flashback" [220] That's a 2 turn delay for Empaths. Source: "Past...

[D 211-215] Diencephalon to Dilithium

We hit the dilithium mines... THE ENTRIES: [211] diencephalon [212] differential magnetometer [213] Dikon alpha [214] dilithium chamber hatch [215] dilithium crystal articulation NOTES:  [211] You opponent can capture your Ullian right then and there if you wish it. The Ullian is stopped whether you pass the dilemma or not, which will be harder without its Empathy. Source: "Violations" [212] Commandeer Ship goes to hand if the required Computer Skill personnel is absent or the ship isn't empty. Source: "Battle Lines" [213] Emergent Lifeform will be an AtoZ card. Source: "Emergence" [214] Source: "The Drumhead" [215] Source: "Skin of Evil" Next up: We're not done with the dilithium.

[D 206-210] Dichromatic to Dielectic

Today: The card the expansion is named after... THE ENTRIES: [206] Dichromic Nebula [207] dicosilium [208] "Die is Cast, The" [209] Dieghan, Liam [210] dielectric field NOTES:  [206] You can't keep the interrupt for later use. Source: "Bloodlines" [207] The Krieger Waves could have been played on your opponent's ship in the first place. You choose a second ship to also suffer the effects. All the cards mentioned are either official or are in AtoZ (there are two Apgar, Mr. and Mrs.). Source: "A Matter of Perspective" [208] Tried hard to make it from both the Dominion's perspective AND the Romulan/Cardassian force's. Captives are not "unstopped" personnel, so no easy rescues there. The wording makes it possible for you to initiate battle regardless of attack restrictions. The final ability allows those personnel to report aboard Advanced D'Deridexes and Galors, even if those ships are not their own. You can put a Romulan intrude...

[D 201-205] Dexalin to Diboridum

A dream for geologists... THE ENTRIES: [201] dexalin [202] Deyos [203] diamide [204] diamond slot formation [205] diboridium core Decipher's version for comparison: NOTES:  [201] Non-organic personnel include holograms, androids, robots and Exocomps.

Source: "By Inferno's Light" [203] Source: "Ensign Ro" [204] Might protect your swarms. Source: Referenced in "The First Duty" [205] If a Site cannot normally report Equipment, then the Generator doesn't suddenly make it possible.

[D 196-200] Devor to Dewan

Some anti-time that's been late in coming... THE ENTRIES: [196] Devor [197] Devoras (no card required) [198] Devos, Alexana [199] Devron system [200] Dewan NOTES:  [196] He's "serious" because he was played by Tim Russ who plays the Vulcan Tuvok on Star Trek: Voyager. He can stop an opposing personnel only if that personnel is alone in its Away Team. Source: "Starship Mine" [197] Already exists as a Romulan ship in the Basic Set. [198] Source: "The High Ground" [199] The importance of this mission is playing with the three Anti-Time Time Locations (and if that ain't an oxymoron, I don't know what is). Source: "All Good Things..." [200] An alphabetical Yuta. Note that numbered personnel like 10 and 01 and immune to this selection. The Klingons will lose big at the sound of "K", and the Romulans at "T". Source: "Contagion" Next up: A dream for geologists. Cards: Devor, Alexana Devos, Investigate Tempora...

THE ENTRIES: [191] Devidian nurse [192] Devidians (no card required) [193] "Devil's Due" [194] Devil (no card required) [195] Devolin system (no card required) NOTES:   [191] Devidian Nurse never counts toward your limit for Devidian Door (1 personnel usually, 3 with Ophidian Cane). You may not call "Devidian Door", report the nurse, and then not show it (adding 1 to a theoretical limit of 0). Source: "Time's Arrow, Part II" [192] Already exists as Devidian Foragers interrupt from the Alternate Universe expansion. [193] The mission must still be solved or scouted for the artifacts to be acquireable. Source: "Devil's Due" [194] Already exists as The Devil interrupt in the Basic Set. [195] Already exists as Pegasus Search in the Basic Set. Next up: Some anti-time that's been late in coming. Cards: Devidian Nurse, Devil's Due

The engineers need to do some work... THE ENTRIES: [186] deuterium control conduit [187] deuterium maintenance [188] deuterium [189] Devala Lake [190] Devidian II (no card required) NOTES:  [186] Whenever ENGINEER and SECURITY are used in the game text, they always refer to the classification and not the skill. With SECURITY, you either choose WEAPONS or SHIELDS, you may not split the bonuses across both. Source: "The Dauphin" [187] Another "boring" mission. ;-) Only the most naive personnel will accept to scrub the manifolds.
